To help its members learn more about the federal stimulus package, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors-National Association and the Quality Service Contractors are offering a free members-only Webinar.

“The Stimulus Package: What’s in it for Your Customers and You” will be held April 23 at 3 p.m. EST. The one-hour Webinar will be led by Mike Bohinc of Keeping Score Inc. He is a CPA with a background in the plumbing, heating, cooling industry.

The Webinar will provide background on what tax credits are available for homeowners to install energy-efficient equipment in their homes. High-efficiency central air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, boilers and air source heat pump, solar hot water systems and geothermal heat pumps are examples. The information shared will also aim to not only educate participants, but also help them answer customers’ questions and possibly close a sale.

Other elements of the stimulus package also will be covered, such as tax incentives for new vehicle purchases, first-time homebuyers and Section 179 qualifying equipment expenditures.
